Altcoin trading volumes have plunged nearly 50% as investors shift their capital back to Bitcoin following a sharp market correction. Currently, Bitcoin is consolidating between $72,000 and $65,000, a range characterized by significant trading activity from whales and institutional investors. As Bitcoin’s price moved above $60,000, it accounted for 36.8% of total trading volume on Binance, while altcoins dropped to represent only 33.6% of the exchange’s activity. This trend aligns with prior correction phases, such as those in April 2025 and August 2024, where capital flows consistently favor Bitcoin, reinforcing its reputation as a safe haven and central benchmark in times of uncertainty.
